Lovely Things. Cranmore Home And A Giveaway!

Anyone who has been reading this blog for a while will know that I have a little weakness in regards to on-line shopping. So imagine how thrilled I was when a Western Australian based on-line homewares business approached me with the offer of a little giveaway. Cranmore Home is run by a bona fide WA farmer's wife, Tracy Lefroy, so I was happy to hop on the bandwagon, particularly after I had had a little peak around the Cranmore Home site.

No Undercushioning Here.

Seriously - it is like a little treasure trove over there. An Aladdin's Cave of a shop - and it is on-line! Yay. I far too frequently find gorgeous little shops that I would like to visit again and again except for the fact that they are miles away from where I live. (Although, let's face it - pretty much everything is miles away from where I live. ) I can pop into Cranmore Home anytime I like.

Look at the sort of stuff you can find if you have a browse around the Cranmore Home website.

I Just Want To Hop In That Bed And Have A Little Sleep!

There are two things I really liked about the Cranmore Home site. The first is the fact that the stock is just a little bit different from the usual on-line homewares stuff you can find. I love that - especially at this time of year when I am trying to find presents for everyone. The second is that lots of the stock is designed in Australia. As I have to send gifts overseas (to people who live in cool shopping mecca places like Manhattan and Copenhagen) finding something locally made or designed that isn't too touristy or ugly has been fabulous.

So - overall Cranmore Home is a lovely little on-line destination when you feel like a browse.

Incidentally Cranmore Home is named after the property Tracy and her husband run. It is a gorgeous old family property and the homestead has been featured in lots of interior design blogs. Pop over to Tracy's facebook page to have a look if you love old houses - definitely worth a peak!

Now - the giveaway bit. Tracy has very kindly offered one of my readers the chance to win one of these incredibly useful wooden share platters. They are made in Australia from recycled wood by Rabbit Trap Timber. And the best bit is Tracy will let the winner pick which one they want from the designs below.

Rustic and Useful - What's Not To Love?

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post - I will randomly draw a winner next week. If you want an extra entry then just let me know in your comment what your favourite thing on the Cranmore Home site is! That's it. Too easy. Get to it.

Addit - This is not really a sponsored post in that I received no payment - I was just happy to run a giveaway and adore the website. Plus love helping out a fellow farmer's wife....

Oh - and if you are based in Perth Tracy is having a pop-up shop on Dec 14th in a converted shearing shed near GinGin called "Beermullah" Click here for all the details.

What a great find - so many lovely things! But... she stocks Cable Melbourne, which is my favourite knitwear, so there's a high chance that would find its way into my online basket. Love the platters, what a fun giveaway xx

Those share platters have something Scandinavian about them. So divine and practical. I do love those brightly coloured iron cots - I'd def. snag one of those if I was having a baby. Unfortunately those days are gone and I'm too big to fit in a cot.

What a gorgeous giveaway! Always nice when you stumble on products you haven't seen before like these wooden share platter - they are fab! Lots of lovely things in the shop - love the jute bags, the cushions but since I've currently got a candle obsession, the Queen B copper candle holders would be my current top pick! Mel x

After visiting the Cranmore Home website at http://www.cranmorehome.com.au I am absolutely in love with every item I have seen. I am especially in love with the Eillie Metal Cot in Rose Gold that can be found here http://www.cranmorehome.com.au/collections/gifts/products/cot-eillie-metal-cot-in-rose-goldAbsolutely gorgeous. Thank you for offering such a beautiful share platter and bringing this web site to my attention.

I love the patch work quilt, I love quilting but mine is l=not up to that standard. But I adore the platter set, I can imagine serving homemade pizza triangles on these platters.Thanks for the comp.Rachelhappyharris@bigpond.com.au
